Nilda

Nilda’s an honest, responsible and hardworking person. She’s single living with her mother in a community in Choluteca in southern Honduras. Nilda’s business is selling snacks and needs the loan to buy pants, shirts, blouses, underwear, skirts, dresses and sweaters for another one of her activities. She hopes with the loan that sales will increase because she’ll have more fresh capital for this season and she will be able to satisfy customer demand. Nilda hopes her and her family’s life situation will improve with this investment. Her short-term dream is that the business will be well-positioned as the best-known snack stand and biggest, best-known store in her sector to continue supporting her family.
